Outline for Drupal 8 User Manual

There's already a proposed outline in the Proposal by the way...

I think that the way this project will probably happen is that a small group of coordinators will eventually finalize a detailed outline, down to the level of individual Task and Concept topics. Then the writer/editor participants will write/edit the topics (hopefully as much as possible drawing from existing drupal.org documentation).

So. It's great that people want to help with the outline (and in general), much appreciated! If you want to make it even more useful to the coordinators who are finalizing the official outline, you could:

a) Organize it so that it corresponds with the outline in the Proposal. We've already incorporated some suggestions from people on the other page, so our current outline skeleton is:

• Understanding Drupal (terminology, background of what a CMS does, license, OSS and the Drupal community)
• Installation and basic site settings
• Modules and Themes (finding, downloading, installing, uninstalling)
• Updating: minor versions of Drupal Core and modules/themes
• Creating and editing node content, including path aliases and Pathauto
• Navigation: menus, site home page
• Block layout and custom blocks
• Content types and fields, including taxonomy
• Image styles
• Views
• Contact forms
• Non-English sites and multi-lingual sites
• Site security

b) If you think that a topic is missing from this outline, feel free to add it to the outline here, but please note that with [added] in the list here so it's easy for the coordinators to see what's new and what's supposed to fall within the existing proposal framework.

c) The outline in the Proposal is a skeleton. We'll eventually need to get down to individual Task and Concept topics, each one of which can stand alone (or at least it could, if you had the necessary background knowledge). If you get down to that level, you can denote each topic with either [Task] or [Concept]. Task topics would start with -ing verbs, like "Adding a new taxonomy vocabulary". Concepts would be background material, like "What is a Content Management System".

Thanks!
